"Kim" is a song by American rapper Eminem that appears on his 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP. The song reflects intense anger and hatred toward his then-wife Kim Mathers and features Eminem imitating her voice, ending with him murdering her and later putting her body in the trunk of his car.
"Kim" was the first song Eminem recorded for the album, shortly after finishing work on The Slim Shady LP in late 1998.[6] He wrote it, along with "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" (where Eminem and his daughter go to the lake to dispose of Kim's dead body), when he and Kim were having relationship problems and Kim was preventing him from seeing his daughter Hailie. Despite its controversial graphic content, it is often highlighted as one of Eminem's most memorable songs.
"Kim" is the third song of Eminem about Kim, the first of which is "Searchin'" from his debut album Infinite, and the second "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" from the albums Slim Shady EP and The Slim Shady LP.
On the clean version of The Marshall Mathers LP, this song is replaced by a clean version of "The Kids" (an unedited version can be found on the CD single of "The Way I Am" along with the UK and deluxe editions of The Marshall Mathers LP).
